"If she says yes......" Hugo's response immediately made the front page of the gossip newspapers the next day, and although Hugo did not say anything more about Uma's remarks, a single sentence was enough to make the reporters think differently.

Some people interpret Hugo's sentence as a counterattack on Uma, thinking that the two people broke up unhappily and the two sides had a 'fierce' quarrel; some people interpret Hugo's sentence as ridicule and irony, thinking that Hugo is satirizing Umma's reversal of right and wrong, and it is Uma's fault that the termination of the date is right; some people interpret it as a reluctant admit, thinking that Hugo was told the key point by Uma, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he acquiesced......

There are all kinds of news reports, and it is to be expected that the reporters will go to interview Ummah, wait for Ummah's response, and then a new round of news 'tide' will come. But what is surprising is that Uma did not respond at the first time, I don't know if it was because of the lack of publicity for the itinerary in the past two days, or the reason why he did not receive information for the time being, but this did not hinder the enthusiasm of the paparazzi, and countless paparazzi were paying close attention to Uma's next move, just waiting for her to react to Hugo's answer.

"Shit! She just wants to wait for next week to respond, this week's hype has attracted enough eyeballs, and next week's release will be another new round of hype. She's amazing! That's amazing!" Joseph said this calmly, and his emotions were not too 'agitated', but anyone could hear the hidden anger and disdain in his words.

The hype is skillful, it is obvious, too dense and too eager, it will make the focus too dense and lose the effect; Too sluggish and too slow, and it will make the news out of focus and the heat drop. This is obviously a 'door' "knowledge", but in the nineties, the main channels of message transmission were television, radio and newspapers, and the transmission of gossip was more through newspapers, which made the spread of news take a period of time to brew, and the big-name suspicions after the Golden Globe Awards took nearly half a month, so the hype skills were not too profound, and the rhythm was relatively slow.

Hugo looked at Joseph and laughed instead of holding on to himself, "When she responds, isn't it all the same for us?" I'm not going to respond to her remarks anymore anyway. ”

"That being said, no one wants to see a mad dog barking at themselves in the newspaper, right?" In the middle of Joseph's words, he heard a knock on the door, got up and opened the big door, "Those bad news always affect the mood of the day. ”

Hugo must admit that although he is now relaxed about the comments of reporters, he will inevitably feel upset every time he sees it, and it seems that learning and dealing with the media is not something that can be completed overnight.

The big 'door' opened, Neil stood at the 'door' with a guitar on his back, and when he saw that it was Joseph who opened the 'door', he stood at the 'door' and said politely, "Is Hugo at home?"

"Of course, you're Neil, right? I'm Joseph. Joseph quickly stepped out of the way and welcomed Neil in.

Neil only raised his head slightly and saw Hugo standing behind, he first shook Joseph's hand, and after greeting him, he walked in, "Hasn't Pepe come over yet?"

"Bathroom." Hugo pointed in the direction of the hallway, "Come and sit, my roommates are out to work today, that's why I asked you to come over." Then he shouted into the bathroom, "Pepe, Neil has arrived." ”

Alex and Charlize are out today, Alex is going to shoot the pilot episode of "Happy Family", and he successfully got one of the horns, but whether it can be determined depends on the effect after the pilot. After the trial broadcast, first of all, the TV station will decide whether to shoot, and secondly, it will decide whether to use this set of actors, so it is still uncertain. Charlize went to acting school, and when she didn't have a job, she continued to insist on learning the fundamentals of acting, and after she came back, she practiced with Hugo and Alex.

Hugo had planned to go to the Al Bar, but considering that the reporter had been wandering outside to see if he would meet Uma, he simply called Neil and Pedro to the house, as they had never been there.

Joseph stood at the entrance of the 'door' and did not come over, but motioned to Hugo to go back upstairs, Hugo saw it out of his sight, so he raised his chin in response, and then Joseph left, taking the big 'door' with him by the way.

Neil heard the door slamming and glanced back, "What about him?"

"He doesn't know much about music, so he can't stay and go back upstairs." Hugo said casually, "By the way, you know, Fokine also lives upstairs and is roommates with Joseph. ”

Neil raised an eyebrow in surprise, "I've seen all the bad news lately, are you okay?" Neil asked with concern as he placed his guitar on the couch.

"I'm fine, after the bumps in the road, I always have to learn something." Hugo smiled and said that although he hadn't been to the Al Bar, he could imagine that Greene Hill must have nailed the latest news to the wine cabinet for people's entertainment.

Neil smiled, "I knew Green was still in the bar talking about introducing you to new 'women'." Sure enough, it was very Green's style, which made Hugo laugh.

"Hey, Neil! You're late!" Pedro opened the bathroom door and walked out with a relaxed face.

Neil tapped his watch, "I'm never late." "There are still five minutes left before the three o'clock they agreed, and he is always on time." I remember you said that you have a grumpy old man living downstairs, and we are here today, is it okay?" Neil's memory of 'sex' has always been good, and he remembers a lot of details.

Hugo couldn't help but say, "I went down and knocked on his 'door', and he went out today." Ernst also knows that staying at home for long periods of time is not good for health, so he goes out for a walk every few days and usually leaves for an afternoon, so it doesn't matter.

"Hugo, hurry up and tell us about this keyboardist you found, is he really good? To be able to get your recommendation, he must be very 'outstanding'!" Pedro jumped onto the couch and relaxed as if he were at home.

"No, I haven't heard him play either." Hugo shook his head, "He's a good friend of my agent, called Alfonso Lopez, I only know that he can play guitar and keyboard, and I don't know anything about his specific strength." Moreover, he has a regular job now, and he may not necessarily want to join us. ”

"And what's going on with today's audition?" Pedro didn't think about it, and asked with wide eyes.

Neil couldn't help but laugh as he sat next to him, "You always have to give each other a chance, and give us a chance, don't you?" We are a band that has not achieved anything yet, and it is not so easy to convince others to give up their current life. ”

Pedro waved his hand indifferently, "We have Hugo!" And you and me! On top of that, we have Hugo! That's the band's guarantee!" Pedro has an absolute admiration for Hugo's strength, especially after the three of them formed a half-band to perform on the street for half a month, Pedro admired Hugo even more, obviously full of confidence.

After the last time Joseph mentioned Alfonso's keyboard, Hugo contacted Alfonso once, mentioning that they were forming a band, and sincerely asked Alfonso to audition. Of course, Hugo also explained the 'sexual' nature of the band, especially some new attempts made by Hugo and the three of them, so that Alfonso has a comprehensive understanding.

This is a crossroads in Alfonso's life. This is very similar to Alex's experience back then, Alex also gave up his bank job to pursue his dream of being an actor in Hollywood, and Alfonso is now giving up his relatively stable and thriving job as a car agent to choose a band that doesn't know the future at all, which can even be said to be the decision that will determine his life for the next five or even ten years, which is not so easy.

After much deliberation, Alfonso decided before the "Schindler's List" was completed that he was willing to give himself a chance, and Hugo and Hugo a chance, that he would come to the audition and then make a decision based on the results of the audition. After all, he didn't prove his strength, Hugo didn't show his ability, and it was too hasty to make a decision before that. So there is today's audition. "We have Hugo, but we don't have drummers, and we're not a band." Neil looked at Pedro and tugged at the corners of his mouth helplessly. Neil naturally admires Hugo, since the first meeting, maybe he won't worship Hugo like Pedro, but he does have a feeling of sympathy with Hugo, so he has enough confidence in Hugo. But the truth is that a band can't be called a band without a drummer.

Pedro was hit by Neil's blow, and immediately drooped his shoulders, "Where is it so easy to find a drummer who is 'colorful'!" On top of that, the band hasn't achieved anything to attract good drummers.

Hugo can see it, he is keen on the band and the most important thing is to like a group of friends who like music to make music together, but if the band becomes a quarrelsome vanity fair, it is a small Hollywood, it is better not to form, for example, the new day of fighting on the streets of New York before, they are not only 'sexual' and not as simple as a match, but also quarrel for popularity and attention, which has nothing to do with music, has nothing to do with dreams, and is really frustrating.

So, Hugo said, "Don't worry, we'll find our own pace in the band, just go with the flow." ”

At this time, there was a knock on the 'door' again, Hugo opened the big 'door' with brisk steps, and sure enough, he saw Alfonso standing at the 'door' with a huge keyboard on his back, he saw Hugo, 'revealed' a warm smile, "I took the first step, are you ready to meet it?"
